[Padre-dev] Input window

[breno]

I've been thinking on a Padre::Plugin::REPL for a while now, and think
it would be a nice complement. I thought when the time came I would
just browse through Padre::Plugin::CommandLine and use whatever gui
component they were using, but after your email I actually got to
check it and it turns out to just pop a window with a textbox. So, if
you do it, I'll use it :-)

As for one-liners, perhaps a new toolbar textbox would suffice, I don't know.


Cheers,

garu
